Outlook and Iphone 4 Exchange Email behaviour

I have set up my iphone 4 with exchange activesync and believe that the basic function works but I experience odd email visibility behaviour. When I receive a new incoming email exchange will push the email out to my iphone but when I open outlook on my workstation this causes the mail item within the iphone inbox to disappear (I use this term as it does not seem to exhibit deletion behaviour). Can anyone help? This is an example of the add behaviour but I have others that seem to be related. I have many read emails in my exchange inbox but none of these are synced with the inbox on iphone, again can anyone help?
Thank you

You will need to see if your e-mail provider can provide a POP email server instead of your current IMAP account.
That way your iPhone and Server will no longer be in sync

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

You can't do it on the iPad you would need to do it on your computer and the folder will be seen by your account on the iPad and iPhone only if they are IMAP and Exchange accounts. POP accounts are not supported for folders.

POP3 Email with Outlook and iPhone email at the same time??

I have my iPhone set up to receive my Comcast email.
I would like to use Microsoft Outlook to also get my Comcast email.
I know how to set up Microsoft Outlook to get my Comcast email - my problem is this:
When I have Microsoft Outlook opened on my PC, I no longer get the emails sent to my iPhone. The only way to get the emails to show up on my iPhone is to have Outlook closed on my PC.
Anyone know how to have Microsoft Outlook always opened on my PC and receive the emails on both my iPhone and in Microsoft Outlook?
Thanks

It sounds like Outlook is set to remove messages from the server when retrieving email.
Try clicking on File-->Account Settings-->Select your account and click change-->click More Settings-->click the Advanced Tab and check the box to leave a copy of the emails on the server.
You can then also choose to have the emails removed from the server after x number of days or when the email is deleted from the Deleted Items box

Help, icloud won't sync with outlook and iphone

I downloaded the iCloud from iTunes and now my Outlook no longer syncs with my iPhone. It worked perfectly before. Now when I make an entry in my phone it doesn't sync with my PC. This is so annoying, and has cost me dearly with missed appointments. I would like to disable it and go back to how it was but don't know how. Or fix it. I've read the posts and I'm so confused by the different responses that I am going crazy. Please someone just give me a simple solution to either fix this problem or to get rid of iCloud.
Thanks, much appreciated

SOLUTION POSTED THIS ELSEWHERE ON APPLE.COM
TeddyDo wrote: Hi, I have just found a great solution for syncing up Outlook default folders with iCloud folders and thought I wuold share it with you. The Control Panel still needs to be installed but the new iCloud folders can be synced with default calendars in real time by means of CodeTwo Sync for iCloud. Seems to be working great so far:
http://www.codetwo.com/sync-for-icloud/
Works with calendars, tasks and contacts.
Thanks TeddyDo...this works for us to. We (my wife and I) each have an iPhone 4S that we sync with our outllook 2010 on our home PC. after a little bit of reconciliation they all sync real-time! OUTSTANDING
worth adding a couple of additional bits of info.
check out the CodeTwo website videos as they are really easy to follow (2 minutes) and the software does it all for you, barring a little bit on the intial configuration, which is why I thought I would type up what to look out for.
only works (supported) if you have Windows Vista or Windows 7
assuming you already have outlook installed, first install install iCloud
go to www.apple.com/icloud and set up the syncs (what you want to sync)
iCloud will have set up a iCloud Calendar in Outlook and you will see that it has probably moved all the data out of the default folder onto the iCloud folder so they are out of sync
install CodeTwo sync for iCloud http://www.codetwo.com/sync-for-icloud/ it cost $10, if you live in the EU it will stupidly ask you for your VAT number, if like me this is for personal use rather than a company it is a pain, but if you put your country as say USA and pay by paypal it works
if you have Norton 360 you will need to go to 'manage the firewall' and 'allow' CodeTwo (which is C2...) otherwise Norton wont allow it to sync.
configure CodeTwo by going to the settings button on the Outlook top bar/ribbon and select which folders you wish to sync and you probably want to go for two-way.
if you are viewing both the iCloud and default calendars you will see that they should start to sync, this may intially take 10 minutes or so as it is making sure they are identical - there is a manage conflicts calendar that is worth flicking through in case there is anything there.
you need to go throught the same process for the contacts (i have 1500 of them so it took10 mins) and then tasks, reminders, etc
they should all (PC, iCloud and iPhones)be synced, but your iPhone calendar will seem as if it has duplicated the lot...it hasn't it is just that it is displaying both the PC calendar and iCloud calendar and they are now identical. go to the iPhone Calendar and tick only the iCloud calendar and your duplicates disappear. contacts etc shouldnt need that attention as it doesnt show duplicates, although if like me you may have some old unreconciled conflicts (historically using iTunes to sync PC and iCloud - not CodeTwo's fault) to deal with, but I should have dealt with that before.
we have multiple PC/laptops at home and given this success we have been thinking about syncing a couple of PCs so we can both be clearing down our outlook emails and all our emails sync. CodeTwo do a couple of similar syncing packages to do that...one for simply two PCs and one for multiple PCs across a home network, giving you most of the functionality of MS Exchange at home...will post something if we go for it, but confident it will probably work.

IPhone iOS4 Exchange emails continue to re-download.

We have several iPhone iOS4 users whose emails download, disappear and re-download. Seems to be a continuous loop. Tried the following solutions:
1. Delete and re-create Exchange account on iPhone.
2. Reset Network settings.
3. Installed network config profile.
Any ideas?

Something like this came up a year or more ago and the conclusion was that it was to do with the way Exchange handles users who are barred from the server - a setting in which users are seen by Exchange to be no longer on the authorised access list and so all the company content is deleted. And then it comes back .... but I don;t think anyone found a solution as it was an intermittent issue.

Syncing contacts and calendar with outlook and gmail - use Exchange or not?

I need to sync my contacts and calendar between my iphone and Outlook and google on my laptop. Syncing via iTunes is fine as a backup but not as a constant process. I then saw that Gmail would permit an Exchange account to be used to allow immediate syncing so I installed an Exchange account on the iphone. It works but I now have doubled contacts. Is there a better way of doing this to avoid duplicate contacts? If I dedupe the contacts on the iphone do I risk then deleting contacts in Outlook on my PC? Alternatively if I delete the Exchange account on the iPhone is there a simple way of keeping calendars in sync on Iphone, Google and Outlook? (I just have two gmail accounts and do not have a Microsoft Exchange server)
Grateful for any useful advice on this issue!

FYI I eventually developed a work around that works better. I have a mac at home and a window pc at work. You can use plaxo to sync contacts between the two and the ipod syncs with the mac as advertised. Also as a bonus you don't have to deal with any issues, problems and pains with multiple itunes locations...

Trouble Connecting iPad and iPhone to Exchange Server 2010

Exchange Server 2010.
I have found some online instructions for connecting iPhones and iPods (or iPads) to Exchange Server 2010 using activesync. I enter all the information as I understand it (the same info used to successful connect Droids), and I do not get an error
until I try to sync (retrieve mail) the first time. Then it says, "The connection to the server failed."
In the instructions I follwed it has this statement, "Before we get started, please be sure your administartor has purchased you an Activesync license and assigned to
your email address." What the heck does this mean and how can I accomplish it? I know activesync is working. So why do I need a "license"?
Any help will be appreciated.

Iphone Microsoft Exchange email

Good morning,
I have read the iCloud privacy documents that imply that IMAP mail stored on mail serviers is not encrypted. However, if I am using the iPhone Microsoft Exchange ActivSync connector and the iPhone downloads and keeps a local copy of the email so I can read it off-line If I backup my phone to the iCloud does the Microsoft Exchange locally stored email get backed up? If it does not then that is great. If it does then is it encrypted or not?
Regards,
Paul

already did that several times. Even changed the password to see if that would work. Completely erased phone and started over. no help either.

Any way to sync with Google Contacts and activesync with Exchange emails?

Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Sync my iPhone contacts with Google
2. Have my private calendar synched with Google
3. Have my work calendar synched with Exchange
4. Get push email from my Exchange server
5. View Google email
I have done 1 & 2 using Google Sync for iPhone, but since this is done via ActiveSync it blocks my ability to add my corporate Exchange server as I am only allowed to have one ActiveSync account on the iPhone.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Adam,
As you probably discovered, the problem is Google Calendar. The iPhone can get email directly from Gmail - without Google Sync - but the Calendar won't work. There are two main options
1. The simplest option is to view your Google calendar via CalDAV. The iPhone supports CalDAV and can sync with any any CalDAV compatible calendar system. Unfortunately, I believe that it's read-only: using CalDAV, you can't update your Google calendar from the iPhone. However, if read-only is fine, that's the simplest option. Then you'd use Exchange for your work stuff, Mail on the iPhone to talk directly to Gmail, and CalDAV support in the calendar to view your Google calendar.
2. The more sophisticated option is to use Mail on the iPhone to get Gmail, then use Exchange for everything else. You'd then add SyncMyCal on your Windows PC to sync your Google calendar with your Exchange account. The sync is two-way and works very well. With your Google calendar available in Exchange, the sync from Exchange to the iPhone will now have your Google calendar items too - and you can create new events on your iPhone's calendar that'll end up in Google calendar.
Regards,
Fergus

PC Sync issues with Outlook and Iphone

Can anyone point me to a discussion group which can address the sync issues I am having with my iphone since upgrading itunes and iphone last night on my windows PC.
Most discssions threads are mac orientated and as a result I rarely get a response to my issues!
I am not able to carry out any syncs on my iphone as it crashes outlook.
I appreciate any advice to where top look for an answer to this.

I found a workaround and I hope this helps someone, I had a client with this issue today. Her iPhone synced up great with the outlook calendar but not with the contacts and that was what was important to her. Here is my words of advice.......
1. Please don't bash apple on this issue, I have seen many posts that do this on this topic.
Apple seems to be releaseing full exchange support in June.
2. Here is what I think is going on.
Take a look at WHAT type of set up you have on your outlook (imap, Exchange, or POP)
If you use your outlook with imap or exchange, outlook will not create a .pst file, you will have a .ost file which seems like itunes sync cant read and you get an error. With a pop account you get a .pst file.
Here is what I did.
I made a personal folder and copied all of her contacts to it and changed the DEFAULT mail folder to point to the newly created personal folder. (personal folders make a .pst file)
then I went into iTunes and started a sync and all the contacts got synced up with her phone. ( she was very very happy )
Hopefully in June the iPhone will have full exchange support.
Hope this helps and please correct me if i'm wrong.
Thanks

Conflict resolution between Outlook and iPhone

Once again, when trying to resolve conflicts between my Outlook and my iPhone, I am told that the system can't access the server and conflicts can't be resolved. This error message commenced with IOS 5 and one could expect it to be resolved by now.
This is today's issue but, perhaps someone can explain that even when hitting iCloud refresh, appointments don't always transpose to my iPhone and almost never to my iPad2. This has been ongoing for some months and, mostly, I ignore it but, every now and again, I feel bound to process.
My iPhone has settings for three calendars, including birthdays. I wonder why the iPad 2 doesn't have the same options?
Do I feel better for saying all this? Not really.
Cheers
Ron

You choose which one you want to keep. You can not merge the two entries.
Your Palm pilot would not allow you to do this either in a note. It's one or the other. If you had created items in a to do list (reminders for example), each line item is a separate record. In notes, each note is a single piece of data. If you change both, you end up with a conflict, which is what happened.

Pop Email In Outlook and iPhone

My manager switched from an AT&T iPhone to a Verizon iPhone (company switched carriers). It used to be when he checked his POP3 in Outlook, it would still download to his phone but it would show as read. If he hadn't yet read the email in Outlook, it would show as new/unread on the iPhone. I'd like to get his set back to that for him. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Brian

OK, thanks for the info.
I would have just thought in terms of logic that an email message is simply a file and that once it is downlodaed to one device, it could be "copied" (synced) with any other device, just as i would back up my data to a hard drive for instance. I don't really care about the server at this stage, I just want to able to access my eamil on the go, but use my PC as my main interface.
Anyway, I'll pursue the gmail route - thanks.

Exchange/Outlook and iPhone 1 hour off, and Time Zone Support is OFF

Hi, in reading thru the threads about Accepting an appointment in an iPhone shifting the appointment 1 hour ahead in the iPhone and Outlook 2003, the consensus is that the issue is with a bug in the Time Zone Support setting in Mail, Contacts and Calendars, and that either refreshing this setting or disabling Time Zone Support fixes the sync. At our facility there were 2 iPhone 3GSs that had this issue and the refresh fixed only one of them. The other persists in moving the appointment forward 1 hour after accepting on the iPhone; if the user accepts from Outlook, the correct time is reflected on the iPhone. The strange thing is that the appointment time is correct when it shows up in the calendar inbox, you can watch it move the appointment forward after pressing accept on the iPhone!
I've double-checked everything on the Outlook/Exchange side, the time zone and DST settings are correct. This user has noticed this behavior after DST in March.
Anything I'm missing?

they are not always on the same time due to daytime saving time changes twice a year in Israel which are not syncronized with any changes in Gaza, Beirut, etc.
